Yes I know how sysupgrade works. There is no reason why it would try to connect via the FTP protocol unless either an ftp:// url is set in /etc/installurl or an ftp:// url is specified on the command line. ftp(1) is not restricted to just the FTP protocol, it is most often used as an http/https fetcher these days.
